thatxliner··on Issue: Claude Code is unusable for complex engineering tasks with Feb updates
i mean you could just search up "is Anthropic making profit" and most sources will say no.

There's this one source on Reddit which calculated that Anthropic has been subsidizing their costs by 32x

I've been saying this with many of my friends but, I feel like it's also probably illegal: you paid for a subscription where you expect X out of, and if they changed the terms of your subscription (e.g. serving worse models) after you paid for it, was that not false advertising? Could we not ask for a refund, or even sue?

thatxliner··on The Xclif Manifesto
Hello! This is my CLI framework that I made because I thought about the limitations of scalability other big CLIs encounter. When I was building apps with Click, the startup time gets really slow. Additionally, I have not seen any other Python CLI library do this: file-based routing.

Having contributed to some of Poetry's codebase, I realize that this is actually a very scalable pattern. The only issue is that there isn't a library that embraces it.

Finally, I envision a fully-fledged, batteries-included framework that handles everything from verbosity flags to configuration files.

While I had concieved of this idea a long time ago, I had only been able to finish and launch this recently with the help of AI. As you can tell, the documentation is AI-generated. However, that shouldn't detract from the core idea.

thatxliner··on PEP 810 – Explicit lazy imports
I was looking at PEP 690 and I saw

> A world in which Python only supported imports behaving in a lazy manner would likely be great...we do not envision the Python langauge transitioning to a world where lazy imports are the default...this concept would add complexity to our ecosystem.

Why can't lazy be the default and instead propose an `eager` syntax? The only argument I can imagine is that there's some API that runs a side effect based on importing, but perhaps making it eager for modules with side effects would be a sufficient temporary fix?

thatxliner··on Chat Control Must Be Stopped
Regarding all the chat control posts, I've not seen any comments regarding the potential use for homomorphic encryption to abide by this law: if chat control is only used for the detection of CSAM (which is another issue in itself; Apple, for instance, already solved this with NeuraHash), then could "allowing the government to snoop" be letting them have the homomorphically encrypted ciphertext?

Disclaimer that I actually don't know what the full extent this chat control law is asking for, except for the fact that it will deeply compromise encryption

Never? If you use proper encapsulation (e.g. tools such as pipx or using virtual environments), that's a non-issue. It only gets bad when there's Python version incompatibilities
